Online Mindfulness-based Psychotherapy via Skype for Controlling Anxiety & Depression without drugs

Mindfulness Meditation Therapy is very effective because it works on changing the root cause of your anxiety or depression rather than just treating symptoms. The focus is on teaching you practical tools and methods between sessions. This is why most of my clients notice changes very much faster than the more conventional talking therapy.

Please feel free to contact me by email if you would like to find out more about Skype Therapy with me. 

Everyone that I have worked with really benefits from the mindfulness approach that I teach for healing emotional suffering…

"I had three sessions with Peter (4 hours total) and am very glad I had a chance to do therapy with him. Even after one session, I already felt better about some of the trauma I have had since I was young. With him, I learned to dissolve the trauma and came to terms with what happened in the past. I very much appreciate Peter’s kindness, wisdom, and patience."

Mindfulness therapy via Skype for overcoming anxiety and depression without using drugs

Online Mindfulness therapy via Skype for overcoming anxiety and depression without using drugs.

So in mindfulness-based therapy, we work on changing these underlying habits, these psychological processes that operate unconsciously to produce emotional suffering, whether that's anxiety or depression or any other form of emotional-psychological distress. 

So these are a product of a conditioned habitual reactive process. The problem is that we are not readily aware of this underlying set of habits that creates your anxiety or depression. So in Mindfulness Therapy we focus awareness on our emotions. We actually learn how to apply mindfulness meditation to explore our emotions and to look at their structure to uncover these habitual reactive processes that are going on. 

Now, of course, one of the major components in that reactive habitual structure will be thoughts, will be reactive habitual thoughts. It might be chronic worrying, it might be catastrophizing, it might be rumination, but these patterns of thoughts are what actually feed the anxiety or depression. 

Now it's important to understand the thoughts themselves do not cause anxiety or depression. That is s a common misconception. It's actually the other way around. Anxiety tends to produce anxiety-based thoughts and anxiety-based thinking, and the same for depression. The emotional state of depression is what produces or takes form in reactive thoughts, rumination and depression-related thoughts. So they're the product of the emotion. They give the emotion a structure and when they operate in a habitual manner they simply feed and sustain that underlying structure of the emotion. 

So the first part of mindfulness therapy is really looking to see what these thoughts are, to identify them clearly. We then look at ways of changing our relationship to the thoughts. You can't simply remove the thoughts. That's another misconception; it's not as simple as that. What you can do though is change your relationship to those thoughts so that you do not just blindly identify with those thoughts. That's essential and that's what typically happens when we are under the influence of habitual thinking. The thought gets triggered and then we become the thought. We literally become consumed by the thought and the reactive thinking that will manifest when we become identified with those negative thoughts. 

So the first thing is to be able to develop conscious, mindful awareness of those thoughts; to see them very clearly when they get triggered in the mind, and then learn how to stay independent from them, not identifying with them. We do this through mindfulness meditation, which means that you learn how to meditate on those emotions and on the habitual thoughts that feed the emotion. 

We train with them essentially. We train in not identifying with those thoughts. It's like learning to develop balance on the edge of a river so that you don't fall into the river and get swept away. Your thoughts are very much like a river. They have a lot of energy in them and if we're not careful we fall into this river of thoughts and that basically takes us away and creates a lot of emotional suffering and simply feeds and reinforces the emotions underneath. 

So holding emotions in conscious awareness is an essential part of mindfulness meditation. You deliberately find our anxiety or depression and we meditate on it, learning how to create this space around it where we maintain independence and balance.

When you bring conscious awareness to it, mindfulness, you can begin to change that habitual imagery, so you can change its color. And you explore during meditation what color feels best and what color allows that depression to decrease in intensity and what color would help it heal. 

Our goal in all meditation work is one of bringing about and facilitating healing. So changing the imagery is how emotions heal, and very often they will do this by themselves over time.

Skype Therapy - A new approach to an old problem

Traditional counseling can be useful, but often it does not change the the underlying process that is the real cause of your depression or anxiety.

This also applies to the use of medications - the anti-anxiety medication may provide a temporary relief from symptoms for a while, but medications are not going to are not effective for healing the underlying cause that causes your anxiety or depression.

The kind of psychotherapy that I teach online is known as Mindfulness Therapy, which can be very effective for handling anxiety as well as for treating chronic depression and other emotional problems resulting from conditioned negative thinking. Most of my clients experience quite significant changes after the first couple of sessions of Skype Therapy.

Welcome. I offer therapy by Skype as a very effective alternative to in-person psychotherapy sessions. When you talk to a therapist online, it is very important that you are also able to see them, so using the videoconferencing capabilities of Skype leads to very effective communication, which is important for good psychotherapy.

So, if you are interested in psychotherapy by Skype please do go to my website and simply email me to make your inquiries and to schedule a Skype therapy session.

The style of therapy that I have developed for working online through Skype is called Mindfulness Therapy, and you can learn more about this on my website.

Basically, the whole focus of mindfulness therapy is to help you learn how to break free from emotional habits of reactive thinking that creates your anxiety or depression or other common psychological emotional problems.

Things like anxiety are produced by psychological habits and we become trapped in these habits and whenever these habits get triggered then we simply find ourselves lost in reactive thinking and lost in the emotional reactivity of that habit.

Mindfulness teaches you how to break free from these habits, and that is a really, really important part of overcoming anxiety. It is also extremely important for overcoming depression as well. You have to identify these emotional habits and then you have to develop a mindfulness-based relationship with these habits, because the more consciousness you bring, the more you take power away from those habits. This is one of the central features of mindfulness therapy - You take power away from your emotional habits so that you can have greater choice in how you want to feel and how you want to respond to the stresses of life.

Therapy via Skype for anxiety and depression

Online Therapy via Skype for Overcoming Anxiety and Depression

Welcome. My name is Peter Strong. I'm a professional mindfulness based psychotherapist and I offer online therapy via Skype for overcoming anxiety and depression and many other psychological emotional problems that can benefit from learning the techniques of mindfulness therapy. 

People like the convenience of online therapy. It's much more friendly and less intimidating than conventional clinical type approaches. Generally, people want to learn how to manage their emotions more effectively. They don't want to go on medications. Sometimes it's useful to take medications to reduce the intensity of anxiety or depression. But it's not a good long term strategy. You need to address the underlying process, the process of reactive thinking and emotional reactivity that operates habitually that feeds your anxiety or depression. 

You need to bring consciousness to these underlying habits, and that's the focus of mindfulness therapy. The approach of illuminating your emotions with conscious awareness in a non-reactive manner is very, very powerful. So that's what we learn to do. And I will teach you how to do this. 

During each session I will teach you very practical methods that you can apply yourself between sessions. And this is absolutely essential for good results. You have to have methods that you can apply yourself and do the real work which is between sessions, and this is what I will teach you. 

I will teach you how to work with your emotions using mindfulness. The results are very effective indeed, with very good results for anxiety and depression and also for helping with recovery from emotional trauma as well. 

I see lots of people who suffer from anxiety. This is by far the most common condition, and most people really benefit very quickly. Typically you can expect to see significant improvements after at least the first three or four sessions. It should not take months or years of psychotherapy to produce significant changes. If it takes that long then that simply indicates the the approach is not very effective. You should be seeing changes within weeks not months and certainly not years. 

So if you are interested in this approach, using mindfulness for overcoming anxiety and depression without using medications or without years of talk therapy then please reach out to me by email. You can ask any questions that you have about how this approach will work for your particular situation. 

All you need for online therapy is is an internet connection and a mobile phone or tablet or, of course, a laptop computer and you can start. You don't need expensive equipment other than a basic laptop. Many people use their iPhone's these days and it works quite well for online therapy. 

So during the first session I will explain to you what mindfulness is and how to apply it, and you will learn within that first session some of these practical methods that I've been talking about. About how to work with your emotions and you'll be able to apply them. 

In the second session. We will review the progress that you made and we will refine the methods that you have been taught, and so on. Each session builds on the previous session. 

The first principle in mindfulness therapy that we focus on is changing the way that you relate to your emotions. 

So typically people react unconsciously to their emotions and to the triggers that trigger those emotions, whether that's external events or situations or whether it's internal triggers in the form of thoughts or memories. The problem is that we just react blindly to these triggers and we then end up feeding our anxiety and depression. 

So the first real breakthrough comes when you can learn to overcome these patterns of habitual reactivity, and that's much easier than you might think. The moment you do focus conscious awareness on them then you can begin to change them. And that's the first principle of mindfulness therapy, is developing this conscious relationship with your emotional habits. 

Thee second part is promoting healing of internal anxiety and depression. And this we do in a variety of different techniques. But one of the most important ones is looking at the imagery of your emotions, and I will teach you how to work with your emotional imagery.

So if you like to learn more please contact me on that schedule a Skype Therapy session.
